    Has my cycle stalled?

    I'm hoping for some advice as to where I am in my fishless cycle and whether its stalled/ I've messed things up. I'm at day 18 of cycling a planted tank (Naija's 1st planted tank) and despite getting my Ammonia levels down to 0ppm Nitrites have stubbornly stayed between 0.5 and 0.25ppm. I...

    Naija's 1st planted tank

    Advice on plants for a non-CO2 setup?

    Hi, I'm a newbie to aquascaping but I am hoping to put together an Iwagumi -style 'scape in a 260l Fluval Vicenza. It has 2x 39W T5's (I think that translates as a low light setup - not done the maths :oops:). Can anyone advise me on the best plants to use in this instance, without CO2. I...

    Advice on getting rocks for hardscape?

    I'm a newbie to aquascaping / planted aquarium and I'm hoping for some advice. I want to put together a Iwagumi type hardscape and was hoping to use some black rocks as the focal points. I've got a Fluval Vicenza 260, and thought that basalt or slate would be appropriate, however I can't find...
